Zenatrol

In April 2006, Foundation Nutriceuticals announced it would be selling Zenatrol, a new herbal ephedra based diet pill which contains the highest legal amount of ephedra allowed. Zenatrol is sold online at www.worldclassnutrition.com. According to Foundation Nutriceuticals World Class Nutrition was chosen to sell Zenatrol on their retail website because, “They are one of the oldest dietary supplement websites on the net, and the reputation is of the highest caliber.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned ephedra based products in 2004, but the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City struck down the ban in April 2005. The FDA had not proven that supplements with 10 mg or less of ephedrine-alkyloids per serving was dangerous and tried to link ephedra-based supplements to a few deaths. Foundation Nutraceuticals along with other companies challenged the ban claiming that ephedra-based products had been safely used for hundreds of years. Now that the FDA ban on ephedra-based supplements has been struck down, Zenatrol is now available as a full-fledged ephedra fat burner and Foundation Nutraceuticals has made Zenatrol available to the pubic. Zenatrol contains 167.5 mg (standardized to 10 mg. of ephedra) of Ma Huang the highest legal amount of ephedra allowed and contains the same ingredients contained in the original Xenadrine FRA-1 with ephedra.

The primary ingredient in Zenatrol is Ma Huang (ephedra), which is a Chinese herb that has been used for over 5,000 years to treat several disorders including asthma and bronchitis. Zenatrol is one of two types of diet supplements available and belongs to a group of metabolic optimizers that aid in weight loss through a process called thermogensis. Thermogensis assists the body in generating heat by increasing metabolism rates and is also known as thermogenic effect, thermogenic response, or specific dynamic action (SDA). This provides stimulation for the body to burn fat and at the same time provides energy.

In the last ten years, ephedra has gained attention for its thermogenic qualities and its ability to increase metabolism. Zenatrol also contains 455 mg of guarana extract (caffeine). The combination of caffeine and ephedra works as an even more effective fat burner. Caffeine maximizes the effect of ephedra by suppressing the appetite and at the same time, burning calories. Zenatrol stimulates the metabolism of fat while providing energy for six to ten hours. This added energy acts to reduce the appetite. Other ingredients contained in Zenatrol include bitter orange (42.5 mg.), calcium (20 mg) and a proprietary blend (195 mg).

For maximum weight loss benefits, Zenatrol should be used in combination with a sensible diet and regular exercise program. The recommended dosage is to take one capsule daily before lunch or dinner. If using for symptoms of cold, asthma or allergies take one capsule daily. You should not take Zenatrol with other asthma medications. Zenatrol may cause sleeplessness, nervousness, irregular heartbeat or high blood pressure. Do not take if pregnant or nursing, if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or if you are diabetic. Do not take with MAO-inhibitors such as anti-depressants. Zenatrol is available in 120 capsule servings per container.
